The founder of Tadafusa - Torasaburo Sone - established his company in 1948. Tadafusa is based in the city of Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, and combines production based on long-standing tradition with contemporary aesthetics and today's demands. It regularly collaborates with contemporary industrial designers and holds several Good-Design Awards. Tadafusa focuses on traditional handcrafted production with an emphasis on affordability, which is why their knives are among the more accessible hand-made pieces from Japan. The specific material processing can bring minor inaccuracies, which are a natural sign of the brand and give the knives a distinctive character. Similar to the brand Kaji-Bei, whose style appears almost rustic with visible traces of handwork (scratches, grinder marks, or pronounced wood grain), we have also gradually become fond of Tadafusa's sharpness, agility, and unique look.
